ComradeVladimirov:

Asregards the apparatus, you are being unjustly
aggrieved. I quite agree with you, and am informing both
Stalin and Rykov about it.—— As regards catching out
“NEPmen” I advise that we give very careful thought
(perhaps, assign to this in a highly secret manner
Rozengolts and another one or two comrades) about what
we should do shortly: either introduce an income tax or a
compulsory loan? or: which earlier?

Localfinances have already yielded considerable data.
They should be systematically collected and processed,winkling out the namesand then deciding the matter
raised.

Withcommunist greetings,Lenin
